Reception

CAL TJADER – SEVERAL SHADES OF JADE

Several Shades of Jade is a 1963 studio album by American jazz vibraphonist Cal Tjader. Arranged and conducted by the renowned Lalo Schifrin, the album is a notable fusion of jazz with Asian-inspired melodies and exotic textures, peaking at number 79 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The album is often cited as a prime example of "Exotica" jazz, where Tjader moved beyond his typical Latin-jazz sound to explore "Oriental" themes. It has been reissued several times, including a 1997 CD compilation paired with another of his Eastern-themed albums, Breeze from the East.
